He was surrounded by his loved ones when he took his last breath.Beloved husband of Ana, proud father of Justine, Josh and Joey, loving son of Josias and Celia, dearest brother of Jocel (Tina) and Jay (Elisabeth), caring uncle of Kae, Miguel, Elia and Elena.Joy had a tender heart for the things of God. He was grateful for how God blessed him to provide for his family. He was a wonderful husband, “Pa” (dad), “anak” (son), “tol” (brother) and a true friend to many. He was a generous man, funny and even in his last days he showed his unique character to those around him and brightened up their day. He fought courageously for almost 2 years since he was diagnosed with lung cancer but in his last days, he was ready to be with the Lord. He is loved by many who are also grateful for how he brought so much joy into their lives. Yes, he lived up to his name.He is the JOY in our hearts forever.------------John 14:1-31“Do not let your hearts be troubled.
